Kiara’s POV

I didn’t speak a word on the drive back.

The man Leo assigned to drop me off kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror, as if expecting me to cry, but I sat still.

Deep down, I was breaking. My mind thought about everything that happened.

When the car pulled up at my apartment, I opened the door slowly. My feet touched the floor like they carried bricks. I reached the door and knocked, my hands trembling.

“Good evening ma.” The nanny greeted me with a look of concern on her face because of the way I looked with my tousled hair.

My mouth was even heavy to respond to her. I just moved straight to the stairs, dragging the weight of everything Leo had ever done to me with every step.

The moment I got to my room, I locked the door, pulled the curtains shut, and sank to the floor. The silence felt suffocating.

I felt like screaming so loud to feel better. Tears were already rolling down my cheeks.

I cried like a child. How could he still think that he had a right over me?

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 57

    Kiara’s POV“Baby, please be careful today,” I said softly as I bent slightly to Sophia’s level, smoothing down the little bow in her hair. “Stay out of trouble, listen to your teachers, and always remember mummy loves you, okay?”She nodded eagerly, her eyes bright. “I love you too, mummy.”My heart squeezed.We walked hand in hand toward her classroom. “Good morning, Miss Mitchell,” her teacher, Miss Sonia, greeted warmly at the door. She collected Sophia’s lunch pack from my hand. “How are you doing today, Sophia?”“I’m fine, Miss Sonia,” Sophia replied cheerfully, then turned back to me. “Bye, mummy!”“Bye, my baby,” I waved, forcing a smile until she disappeared inside. Only then did I exhale.I decided to go see Leo before going to work, at least to thank him properly for saving our daughter's life. I wasn't sure where to find me. If he is at hospital because of the injury or if he's okay now and at work. The injury wasn't that much.I pulled out my phone.“Hey, Uhmm where are

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 56

    Leo’s POVKiara has just decided to make it difficult for me to come in close contact with her and Sophia but one thing about me is that I don't give up easily. Not when it comes to them. And my mother is on my neck right now because of them. Apart from that, I really want to be part of their lives.A sharp knock on my office door pulled me out of my thoughts. “Come in,” I said.Vincent stepped in, tablet in his hand. “Sir,” he began, “I believe I’ve located the new school Miss Kiara registered Sophia in.”I straightened immediately.“Oh really?” My lips curved into a slow smile before I could stop myself.“Yes. It’s a private Montessori school in Pasadena, not far from South Lake Avenue. Quiet area. High security. Small student population.”Mmmm, Pasadena.I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly.“So that’s where you ran to,” I muttered under my breath.Kiara, you can run but you can’t hide forever.“Good work, Vincent,” I said aloud. “That’ll be all for now.”He nodded and left.

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 55

    Leo’s POVI hadn’t seen Sophia in weeks That alone was enough to make my chest feel tight.At first, I told myself it was nothing, but deep down, I really miss her. Every time I drove past her school, hoping, needing to catch even a glimpse of her, I saw nothing.That was when suspicion crept in.Kiara might have changed her school and I'm not aware.Even Kiara is nowhere to be found for some days now. I've checked her office on different occasions, but she wasn’t around. It was like she had vanished.That was when I made up my mind.If I couldn’t find them outside, I would find them at home. I didn’t use my usual car.That would be stupid.Instead, I took one of my casual cars, pulled a cap low over my face, added a nose mask, and parked several houses away from Kiara’s place. I kept my eyes fixed on the gate, my grip tightening on the steering wheel every time a car passed by slowly.Then, a familiar vehicle turned into the street. My pulse jumped. The car slowed and pulled into

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 54

    Kiara’s POVI was having this wild dream about Leo and I, when I began to feel the kisses and touches. “Naughty boy, like you just read my mind.” I said within me as I enjoyed the romance. Not until I was reaching orgasm and he stopped. “Why did you sto…?”I opened my eyes to know why he stopped. It wasn’t Leo.It was Alex!I could see through his eyes that I bruised his feelings.Gosh! So I was hallucinating about Leo and screaming his name so loud. Fuck! Alex doesn't deserve this at all. The first time we were having sex, after being patient with me for so long, all I could do was scream Leo's name.I sat up immediately, my heart pounding violently against my ribs. Shame burned through me so fast it made my eyes sting.“Alex—” I started, but he was already stepping back.I watched him leave. He didn’t shout nor insult me. Which made me feel more guilty.The door closed behind him.That silence screamed louder than any argument.I stood up, my head spinning. I wrapped the sheet aro

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 53

    Kiara’s POV“I’ll book a three-day vacation for us,” Alex said, his voice calm but firm. “Somewhere quiet and beautiful. Just to get you away from all this drama so you can rest.”I looked up at him, surprised. “Alex, you don’t have to.”“No, Kiara,” he cut in gently, stepping closer. “Don’t say that. You know I love you, and I hate seeing you stressed like this.” His hands came to my shoulders, steady and warm. “You’ve been carrying too much on your own.”I swallowed, my chest tightening.“Sophia and the nanny will stay behind,” he continued, as if he had already thought everything through. “It’ll just be the two of us.”“No way,” I said immediately, shaking my head.“Yes way,” he replied with a soft laugh. “Come on. You need time for yourself, for once. It’s just three days, not a month. And the nanny is doing a good job already. You trust her, right?”“Yes, but…”“There’s no ‘but,’ Kiara,” he said firmly, yet lovingly. “Just get prepared. We’re leaving tomorrow morning.”I sighed,

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 52

    Kiara’s POVI had to keep Sophia at home for a while.Not because she was sick, not because of school holidays, but because of Leo that's always coming to see her. She curled up on the rug with her legs crossed, eyes glued to the television as her favorite cartoon played. She laughed softly at something on the screen. I brushed my fingers through her hair as I walked past, inhaling the familiar scent of her coconut shampoo.I moved back to the couch after getting a glass of water, opened my laptop to monitor what was going on at the office. Work is the one thing that keeps me distracted.But I can't continue keeping Sophia at home because of Leo.The best thing to do right now was to change her school. Somewhere Leo wouldn’t know, somewhere he wouldn't just show up with so much entitlement.I had skipped work today just to be with her. To make sure she was okay. Her giggling echoed through the living room, filling me with warmth and guilt at the same time. I smiled, but it didn’t qui
